Lovely village but just TOO crowded. Felt a bit like Disneyland on a busy summer day. Would have liked a little more free time to walk about.

The tour was excellent and I had a superb guide tour-Fernando who gave very comprehensive information about Dutch history and many fascinating stories behind it.

My time was well spent with this tour and it was worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Amazing day!! To glorious places in one day! We were blessed with warm, sunny weather and had the best guide-Jay who was funny, patient, informative, and energetic. Plus Daniel was a great driver! We broke off from the group for an hour at the windmills to avoid the other bus groups and found 10 minutes to ourselves on the balcony of the “rock crushing” windmill. We’ll never forget it.

Beautiful day trip with a great tour guide Fernando and bus driver Hans. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day. The bus trip kicked off at 8am and am glad as it meant we were one of the first groups to get to the villages.

It was lovely to see pretty traditional villages and taste the great cheese and see clogs being made.

This is the Amsterdam I preferred to see and not the main city which is overcrowded and unfortunately dirty with too many people.

Would recommend this tour to anyone. Was given enough time in both villages to enjoy the scenery and also get a bite to eat.
